Books and Products

Welcome!

Hi friends! This blog is for teachers and families- all for the sheer joy of literacy. When we are enthusiastic about reading and writing our students and our own kids become excited to read and write. I hope that we all can be models for those in our care- how did you show your passion for reading, writing, learning, language, or words today?? It's in those small, daily moments that we teach kids to love literacy.

One Awesome Book List!

As mentioned in my last post, I put together a list of books for potential donors to purchase for program participants at Harbor House, the non-profit where I'll be working come mid-August.

I'm psyched to join Harbor House as their Director of Education, and hopeful to help deepen the literacy experiences of the youth and families in the San Antonio District in Oakland.

This book list samples some amazing literature! These are some of my favorite authors and books. Some of these books are fun and silly, some are well-loved by most kids, and many are books that offer a multicultural voice or perspective. Harbor House's participants represent Oakland- truly diverse.

A big thanks to the commenters that left ideas on the last post for this book list!! You had excellent suggestions!

I know this list was meant for donors to gift a book to a child at Harbor House, but I hope you also find value in this list for your personal use- it includes some winners!
